A lyrical, provocative journey into the art, memory, and meaning of experience.
What does it mean to have an experience? When did we begin to believe we could "have" one at all? In Experience: A History, Lawrence Kramer traces the cultural birth of experience as a singular, life-defining event. Moving lyrically between criticism and memoir, he guides readers from Petrarch and Nietzsche to Virginia Woolf and Anne Carson; from Haydn's Creation to Billie Holiday's searing "Strange Fruit." Along the way we encounter Niagara Falls and the Gal嫚agos, Parisian department stores and Caf?Society, Emerson, Henry James, Schubert, and Chopin.
Anticipated as early as the fourteenth century and accelerating after the eighteenth, records of concentrated, unforgettable moments begin to proliferate--until the possibility of having an experience becomes a demand for one. Experience turns into something to seek, curate, even consume. Yet its power lies in its particulars: the convergence of history, art, memory, and self. At once personal and tender, challenging and vulnerable, Experience fuses philosophical argument with intimate recollection. The result is both a sweeping intellectual history and a deeply human reckoning with the experiences that shape and unsettle modern life.
